A review of Video Games & Your Kids – How Parents Stay in Control by Hilarie Cash, PhD and Kim McDaniel, MA

Like many parents, I’m concerned about my kids not spending too much time in front of a screen. Whether that screen is television, computer, or video games matters little. One reason for this is because I have seen how screen time interferes with other, more important activities. Activities like reading, spending time with family, helping around the house, even daydreaming.

It seems that boys in particular have a hard time accepting limits around video gaming and computer time. Since I have two sons, I didn’t want any part of the constant fighting over the video game system between themselves and refusing to accept boundaries and limits that I see in other families. I’ve also observed kids missing a lot of sleep and even social interaction with peers because of spending too much in an artificial world, with detrimental effects both short and long term.

Video Games and Your Kids gathers much of the current research, science and data about why parents should be concerned about their kids spending excessive time playing video (and computer) games. Rather than being the greatest invention since the baby wipe, video games aren’t always just harmless fun.  Read more...

We are living in a digital age where everyone seems to be equipped with the most advanced gadgets. Various terminologies have come up which were totally unheard of a decade or two ago. Things like Xbox, PSP3, Play station, and the wonderful mobiles like I-phones have completely captured the imagination of the young generation as well as the older one.

Among these innovations the world of computer games is a most fascinating one. In a few decades computer games have caught the fancy of all ages and types of people in all parts of the world. And now computer games have become a big business too. Even though you are all interested in them your knowledge about them is not likely to be adequate. This article attempts to solve that inadequacy.

The only problem that is posed by these fascinating products is the price factor which is often very high. Though a large number of people want to buy the most fascinating games the cost dissuades them from doing it. A good way to resolve this problem of high price is to buy them second hand. That would comfort you if you were wondering how to buy them. It will also answer your questions if you were wondering how used computer games can be bought.  Read more...
